YOSHIKI: Completely familiar. They are an amazing band-even though we got in to fights a couple of times.
(laughs)Yeah, I mean they were way before us.
Amazing musicians.
Their style is more traditional. They are hard rock,
you can categorize that.
Their background was in punk rock, new wave and heavy metal, but X mixed everything.
We didn't really belong in any genre.
So when I first met LOUDNESS, they couldn't figure out who we were. There was a party and I just lost it.
I got into a huge fight, even though I respect them so much. Then eventually TAIJI, when he left X JAPAN,
actually joined LOUDNESS.
